    Welcome to the Letterman TH-cam Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. These highlights have been artisanly-produced, carefully-curated, and chosen completely at random by an old computer that used to pick numbers for the New York Lotto back in the 90’s.

    As a kid, my bedtime was 8pm during the original Late Night run. I would sneak out into the living room every night after Carson and watch the show with the volume turned low, so my folks wouldn't catch me. Tuning into Letterman was like learning a secret handshake, an invitation to join an exclusive club of renegades, luminaries, and outcasts, most of whom were the smartest people in any room. Thanks for contributing to my juvenile delinquency, Dave.

      I did the exact same thing. I missed so many days of 7th grade my mom cut the plug on the TV. Almost set the house on fire bare wiring into the socket after that.

    Calvert DeForest was comedy gold in such an odd way. Letterman and his team knew how to break the rules of TV and created something special. I love these clips!

    Man, am I laughing... But pardon me to say my favorite with Bud is when he's at the bus station interviewing arriving passengers.

    I can relate to other comments. I was constantly tired in the morning before school because Letterman would keep me up. The days before DVR!

    Can somebody help me with a memory? It would have been around the late 90s. Dave used to do his monologue, then towards the end and old guy used to walk out and interrupt, but not say anything, then walk off. Was that Larry Bud Melman?

      My interest in late night shows ended May 2015 when Dave went off the air. All the guys doing it now do not compare.

    Fact: off-camera, Calvert DeForrest sounded just like James Earl Jones.

    How was this level of improv from Calvert / Larry-Bud achieved? I don't get that his background was in improv / standup comedy. He must be reading off of cue cards, so all the audience questioners were pre-planted with their questions? They all look so genuine and not faking it.

    • @Wiley_Coyote
      @Wiley_Coyote 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Right. The questions were pre-cleared before the show started. They quickly wrote responses up on cue cards for Calvert.

    • @riverraisin1
      @riverraisin1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The humor of Larry 'Bud' Melman was that he was so obviously reading cue cards. He wasn't trying to hide the fact. It was his innocent, amateurish delivery that was his genius.

    I guess Bob Rooney Day didn't go so well the previous year (th-cam.com/video/eqIporswtAU/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=DonGiller). He was back to handing out T-shirts in this segment 🤣

      His lack of comfort just made him genuine.

    Nothing on tv today can top these videos. It’s was great time long ago. Today’s talk shows Bore the hell out of me.

      When Dave was on NBC it seemed like he had free reign to do whatever he wanted to do. It was low budget gold. When he moved over to CBS they threw loads of money at him and the show became too polished and choreographed for my taste. I quit watching.

    • @alanbehrens4231

      ​@@riverraisin1I still watched but he was much better on NBC.

    The T-shirts- were they anything? Looks like they were just plaiin white shirts..

    • @kevinnewsom3128
      @kevinnewsom3128 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      After they had been doing this segment for a few months, Dave finally asked what was on the T-shirts. He thought they were probably "Late Night With David Letterman" shirts. or something affiliated with NBC...Nope...Just plain white "Fruit of the Loom" type underwear T-shirts ...That made it even funnier! Eventually, they started giving away two shirts per question, and Larry's new catch phrase became "Bob Rooney, please give this nice person two T-shirts. Those were the days, my friend!

    The kid that completely botched the location in Texas where he was from; was there an explanation for that other than the school system?

    • @midnightrider2342
      @midnightrider2342 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      More than likely this "kid" was an intern or writer on the show who was planted in the audience specifically for this bit - as were all the other ones. These staff members usually had made-up stories about where they were from or what they did, and Dave liked to catch them off guard with random questions.
